He's not... but in both pics he is wearing all Bauer. And I was guessing anyways, still don't know what we are looking at.

Could you at least make a comment so I know what I'm looking at? I assume something from both photos but I can't tell what.

They look like the relatively new Bauer Nexus 7000 skates.

Your reply led me to take another look--to me, the skates look like they have the graphics of a Nexus 8000 on a non-Curv boot. Thanks for the good eye.

A lot of players have those. I think they're Vapor X90-based (the ribs in the upper sidewalls match), of course custom-fit to the player's foot, and then printed with the 7000 graphics and finished with 7000/8000 trimmings. You can see how the heel has the 8000 bottom cup, because the white chevron is lower, attaching right at the top of this piece. In the actual Nexus 7000, it's up higher and looks a lot more insect like, featuring above that stack of exoskeletal horizontal stripping. You can often find a pair or two on eBay, which show the details nicely. (Currently, this links to a pair of Plekanec's old skates.)

seems the Bauer athlete roster constantly changes...at one point (when they first released the new site) Ryan McDonagh, Marty St Louis and Milan Lucic were on the roster...now they're not

What is it about the Easton S19 stick that has PK and Kessel (probably more) still playing with it? Durability, feel, look, or some combination?

Might still be using it because of preference and they still like the feel of the stick. Either that or it is possible that it is another Easton stick painted as an S19...

Leo Komorov's Graf skates (maybe these don't qualify as a 2014-2015 gear sighting).
